Screw what everyone else thinks, do YOU think you're attractive?

I don’t think so. I don’t want to make out a list though, I think I would start crying. I think my dislike is mostly internal. The idea of liking how I look is so foreign to me, it doesn’t matter how I dress or get my hair cut, or if people compliment me. I don’t think I will ever like myself very much.

No…but I don’t think I’m ugly either.

I refuse to make a list because I’m hoping that if I don’t talk about my bad parts, they’ll just go away.

I’m not attractive, but I’m not ugly either. I know this because I’ve never attracted girls on looks…of course, I havent attracted girls at all, to my knowledge. I’m bland enough that I can walk through a room several times and no one will see me , but I don’t have a problem with it. Being reasonably intelligent more than makes up for having average looks. Of course, it does kinda get to you when the person you have a crush on asks you after school “Were you at school today? I didn’t see you!” when you sit almost directly in front of her…oh well…

Some days I feel ugly, and some days I feel handsome. Rarely just “regular”. Hrm… Well, here’s my list.

:slight_smile: Almond-shaped, exotic asian eyes.
:frowning: Too short. 5’8
:slight_smile: Pouty lower lips. (I think that’s a good thing)
:frowning: The dark area under my eyes that make me look like a junky. (Even though I’ve never done drugs…)
:slight_smile: Sexy, thick (as in wide-ish, not bushy) eyebrows.
:frowning: A slight slouch.
:slight_smile: Thinnish but not too thin body.
:frowning: Somewhat roundish face (Good in women, bad in men).
:slight_smile: A full head of straight, thick, blacker than black hair. (Most barbers tell me that they’ve never seen anyone with so much hair.)
:frowning: Really ugly hands.

(((((((DigitalMuse)))))))

If it makes you feel any better, I hold most of those characteristics, too, about 90% of them, except for the 5’1" thing. Appreciate your shortness; you’ll never have to worry about what kind of shoes to wear to a dance. I don’t think I’ve had the chance to wear heels in years. :frowning:

As for the marks on your arms? I call mine white bracelets. Makes them seem better in a way.

I think I’m attractive. I have nice eyes and good skin. I have a very “womanly” figure with all the positives and negatives that ago with that. I think I have a goofy smile and need to loose 10 more pounds, but overall, I like my looks. What’s more, my hubby LOVES my looks and tells me so frequently and that makes it all good.

Yeah, I do think I’m pretty good looking.

Good stuff:

:slight_smile: Big blue eyes
:slight_smile: Big shoulders, chest & arms (47 chest, 17" arms)
:slight_smile: “cute” nose-
:slight_smile: Square jaw
:slight_smile: Dark brown hair with lots of body & wave
:slight_smile: Tall(6’1"), but not freakishly tall
:slight_smile: Really straight white teeth

Questionable stuff:

:confused: Big thick neck (17"), but no double chin
:confused: can grow facial hair and lots of it
:confused: Long torso, short legs(32" inseam)
:confused: My front teeth are sort of gappy- not
David Letterman gappy, but still have gaps.
:confused: Apparently my voice sounds like some kind of slightly country voice-over person. Very similar to the Dairy Queen commercial narrator of a few years ago.

Bad stuff:

:o Hairy like a gorilla- chest, legs, stomach, and unfortunately, my entire back.
:o My head hair’s receding pretty drastically at the temples- especially for a 28 year old.
:o I still have a lot of midsection flab- even with a 36 waist
:o I still get back/shoulder zits.
:o Apparently I’m intimidating- I usually don’t realize it, but apparently I loom over people sometimes and make them uncomfortable.
Well, that’s about it… if you want to see more, I’m on the People pages! View at your own risk!

Physically:

Eyebrows
Eyes
Skin (fair unblemished, not much body hair)
Muscles (not bulked, but defined)
Lips
Teeth
Large, defined hands and feet
Good upper build
Healthy
Good voice.

Otherwise:

Polite,
Forgiving,
Empathetic,
Funny (not always, but I have my moments :wink: )
Open minded,
Skilled - can fix/repair nearly anything,
Intelligent,
Know how to treat a lady.

Even though people’ve told me I look good in glasses, I don’t like the way I look with them. I vow to have my eyes lasered someday (hopefully soon). Also, I’m a smoker–about a pack a day, I really need to quit. :frowning:

My problems are more internalish:

Shy around new people,
Moderately aggressive,
Slightly Emotional/Reclusive/Insecure,
Substance abuser (sometimes),
Procrastinator,
Disorganized,
Lazy.

No, I know I’m not attractive.

I do get mentioned on the crush threads, though because I’m reasonably intelligent.

Reasonably intelligent = smart enough not to put my picture on the people pages.

I like this game…

Good points:
:)I treat my girlfriend extremely well
:)I’m a 28" waist and have very little body fat
:)I have rock solid legs and a really cute butt (so I’m told)
:slight_smile: According to a few reliable sources, I have sexy eyes and am both an amazing kisser and very good at the whole foreplay/bed thing :smiley:
:slight_smile: I do Taekwondo and Capoeira style martial arts, so I can do all kinds of impressive things with my body (flips, somersaults, acrobatics etc)
:)Although I’m not very well defined and muscular, I’m definitely getting there and I’m already strong enough to lift and carry with ease.
:slight_smile: I’m intelligent and being a physics student, I can always be relied on to find solutions to problems
:slight_smile: I teach dancing, so I’m co-ordinated and very confident, I can charm just about anyone and am rarely a ‘fish out of water’ (unless it’s in any kind of big city…small town guy)
:slight_smile: All this and I’m 18 as well…

Not so good points:
:frowning: I have wierd, skewed teeth
:frowning: I can’t run
:frowning: I have a tendancy to assume that, in any situation, I am right
:frowning: My sex drive knows no limits, which can get annoying (but my girlfriend seems to cope :D)
:frowning: I’m a dancer. This attracts a lot of stick.
:frowning: I’m scarily obssessed with math and physics. This again attracts a lot of stick…also, when I have a problem to solve, I can be extremely bad company.
That’s about it.

I just want to take this oppourtunity to say that I think my girlfriend is the most beautiful and fantastic woman I have ever met and I would be a fool not to spend the rest of my life with her.

Thankyou for your time.

I’m hot. Always have been, and at (almost) 43, I still look better than most hard body twenty year olds in a bikini. Twenty years of being a jock & painting houses have kept me in amazing shape. Last month the SO took a photo of me in a bikini in the Carribean, and it’s in a frame on my fridge. (If I had a scanner, I’d post it.) People of both sexes have come on to me since I was about 13, and still do. I’m the sort of person strangers smile at, stare at, & ask for directions (I frequently check my teeth for broccoli shreds.)

What’s weird, is that I never thought I was that attractive until I was 39. I used to say, well people find me sexy, but I’m really not pretty. But, actually I am gorgeous, in a striking kind of way. Other people think so, and so do I. :slight_smile:

Of course I have things I am not happy with. I think my boobs are too big, my hair is really fine & never takes a good haircut, my teeth are a bit yellow (tetracycline as a kid), I am becoming prone to premenopausal zits, and I have three scars on my right side from being stabbed, and a big freckly birthmark on my left side.

There, I feel better now.

I can live with myself. I’m not terribly attractive physically, but I’m not ugly either. I don’t think so anyway. No-one’s ever said I was attractive though (well, apart from being told I’m handsome by elderly female reletives, and one online friend saying I was cute from a blury photo I sent her). Anywho, list:

:slight_smile: I’m tall - 'bout 6’2"
:slight_smile: I’m quite thin.
:slight_smile: I have a nice complexion (but then I think pale is good)
:slight_smile: I have thick, dark brown, curly hair. This has aroused the envy of numerous female friends (and a few people I didn’t even really know), so I assume they liked it.

:frowning: I can’t think of any more :)s
:frowning: Still having some acne problems
:frowning: I get skin rashes a bit - aside from being the right colour my skin hates me
:frowning: I have a girl’s bum. More precisely, I have wide hips. I don’t think this is necessarily bad, 'specially since you can’t notice it when I’m wearing anything, it’s just weird.

I’m indifferent about everything else.

:slight_smile: I have really soft hair.
:frowning: It’s too short to do anything with and too long to get away with not doing anything with it.
:slight_smile: I have nice breasts.
:frowning: I’m overweight and I never do enough damn sit-ups.
:slight_smile: My eyes vary in color between faded denim blue and the green-grey-blue of the sky before a tornado hits.
:slight_smile: I’m one of the tallest females in my area. (5’7ish)
:frowning: Sleeves and pants legs are always too short for me.
:frowning: My nose is too big.
:frowning: Crappy skin.
:slight_smile: Nice cheekbones.
:slight_smile: I like my hands. They’re not really pretty hands or slender or anything but they’re capable of playing guitar, working on cars, anything I want to do with 'em.
:frowning: Big butt.
:slight_smile: Sure, I’ve got wide shoulders and hips and a kinda large chest, but my waist is narrow, so I have this hourglass thing going on that I like.

Carina, you rock. I wish everybody here could think like this, because it’s true: you’re all hot in your own ways.

And, yes, I do think I’m attractive. I’m not classically beautiful and I don’t have a perfect body, but who cares about that? I have good features and I know how to use 'em. :smiley:

Yeah. I’m attractive. I’m not stark-raving handsome or anything, but I place fairly well on the good looking man curve.

Pluses:

long dark hair
mischievous smile
prominent (yet not cavemanish) brow
high, sharp cheekbones
tall (6’1")
thin (170 lbs)
well-muscled, particularly my back and shoulders)
long, thin fingers
naturally white, strong nails
nice eyes (they change colors and are well-offset by the brow and cheekbones
really long eyelashes
some physical grace (I move well and confidently and only occasionally trip over things that don’t actually happen to be there)
People keep telling me I look “dangerous”. I prefer to think of it as “mischievous”

and, of course, there are some minuses

My forehead is higher than I’d like (not receding, just high)
one crooked tooth
the hair is fine and straight
No matter how hard I work out I can’t get much abdominal definition
I have a very slight, intermittent limp
I have really good muscle definition, but I have a really hard time putting on and maintaining mass

So, there’s me in a nutshell. Since the pluses outnumber the minuses, I’d say I’m reasonably good looking.

Cute? I dunno. I’m sexy. Does that count?

Not at all, I have serious insecurity issues, mainly from a few recent problems but…

:frowning: I hate my nose, it’s too big
:frowning: I could stand to lose a few pounds around my tummy
:frowning: I don’t like my legs, they seem too chubby to me
:slight_smile: I have nice long hair, about mid thigh, wavy, thick and dark brown
:frowning: My hair will never do what I want it to
:frowning: I can’t stand my voice
:frowning: My hair much too dark for my skin, stands out quite a bit, which means I get to shave really often or just wear pants
:frowning: I’m not short enough to be the cute little petite type and not tall enough to be anything else.
:frowning: My eyebrows are bushy and horrible if I don’t pluck them
:slight_smile: I have big eyes, I think they’re pretty at least
:frowning: They’re brown, I swear I have no color variation at all.
:frowning: I have no chest to speak of, at least nothing really noticable
:frowning: I’m moody
:(/:slight_smile: I’m very proud of being Mexican even though I “look white”
:(/:slight_smile: I’m very cuddly, I can’t have a relationship unless I can feel “right” when hugging the person or doing more

Kitty

I think i’m reasonably attractive. I wouldnt say i’m hot (despite what Esprix says ;)), but I do pretty much like me clothed, at least.

:slight_smile: I have nice eyes. Half way between Filipino and Caucasian (with a nice round shape). They have a partial epicanthic fold, so that weird bump in the inner corner of my eyes is covered. They’re also a rather nice shade of brown. Not dark, but a more golden brown. They also have a nice darker ring of brown around the outer edge of the iris.
:slight_smile: I have two eyebrows. Although, it’s a slight unibrow, but not really noticeable. Theyre also nicely shaped, fairly thick, but not bushy.
:slight_smile: My hair is thick, and full, and has consistently wowed hairstylists. Even though I dont do much to condition, etc. it still stays strong, thick, and shiny. It’s dark brown, almost black, and I also get reddish hairs here and there, which are a nice detail. It’s also straight and makes Democritus jealous. It’s also in a nice haircut that makes me just adorable.
:slight_smile: My legs are shapely, even though kind of big.
:slight_smile: I have very little body hair, except on my ass and legs. However, it’s just the right amount. Not too sparse, but not so thick you could braid it in corn rows.
:slight_smile: I have nice lips. The bottom one is full, and the top one is just right. Theyre also soft.
:slight_smile: I have a nice nose. It’s not too wide and pugish, but it’s not too thin and beak like. It’s also straight along the bridge.
:slight_smile: My bodyfat is proportioned out around my body well enough that i dont look as huge as I am (see below for the :(). Even though i’m 260, people swear I dont look that big.
:slight_smile: I’m 6’2". Just tall enough.
:slight_smile: I Know how to dress well. I have enough sense of style and color coordination that when I do try, i look pretty damn good. Even our own Oldscratch and others have complimented me on the things i’ve worn to Doper Bashes.
:slight_smile: I have a very nice skin color. It’s brown and wonderful. Looks good if I spend several days in the sun.
:slight_smile: I have a good amount of charm, and i’m polite, kind, and also friendly. I’m a good listener, and a decent sense of humor.

:frowning: I’m overweight. It’s mainly around my midsection (but not too much so I look like a pear (my shoulders are wide enough to offset it)). I basically have a spare tire, and a belly. However, i’m not too over weight, probably 50 lbs or so.
:frowning: I dont have much of an ass. It’s also not helped by the fact that since my fat is around my mid section, that stops any curving that results in a nice ass. If i lost the weight, but kept some of it on my ass, i’d have a pretty good looking one :slight_smile:
:frowning: I have very sparse facial hair. I cant grow a decent stache or beard.
:frowning: The toe nail on my big toe on my left foot is shitty, because of laser surgery to cure an ingrown toe nail (i’d take the shitty toe nail over the ingrown toe nail, however.
:frowning: I dont really have muscle. If I lost weight, i’d be pretty skinny. But, nothing some time at the gym couldn’t fix.
:frowning: I have TMJ, a cross bite, and an under bite. My front teeth do not come together, so I have a gap between the two sets of teeth I can stick the tip of my tongue through. The only positive is my teeth are relatively straight. My jaw also clicks and locks part way due to the TMJ.
:frowning: I still get pimples, and have the bad habit of picking at them.
:frowning: I’m sadly out of shape. However, i have been trying to work on that, though the rainy season hampers my attempts to ride my bike around for at lest 30 minutes a day.
:frowning: I’m lazy and a horrible procrastinator.
:frowning: I’m an utter slob.
:frowning: I have stretch marks partly from puberty, and also gaining weight a little too fast (they are fortunately a similar shade to my natural skin color.
So, while I do have bad traits, I can think of positives to remedy most of them. I generally dont worry too much about what others think. I personally think I look pretty damn good when I intend to dress nicely.

I think that regardless of what anyone looks like, we are all attractive in some way to someone somewhere, even if it’s just to ourselves.

:)I have nice tits
:(I have very small, very light nipples
:)I have a not too big, not too small ass
